If you are looking for technical information about historical Airplanes and Automobiles, this is the right channel for you. My name is Greg, and I am a life long aircraft and automotive enthusiast, and I work professionally in both fields. The aviation side of this channel has a heavy focus on WW1 and WW2 aircraft, although I will occasionally touch on jets. My automotive focus is largely on Italian cars and Muscle cars, but I like almost all cars. Since I have an all wheel drive dyno in my shop near Tulsa I will frequently use it in videos.

Video Description
Could 727 pilots really get more capability from the airplane by "tricking" the flap system? Did that lead to the TWA 841 incident. I'll tackle these two topics in this video. https://www.patreon.com/GregsAirplanesandAutomobiles Paypal: [email protected] Note, the maximum mach limit in the 727 was either .90 or .88 depending on the exact model. That's the upper speed limit when at altitude. At low altitudes the plane is limited by indicated airspeed, not by the mach number. This is because the speed of sound decreases with a drop in temperature, and indicated airspeed decreases with altitude for a given true airspeed. Thus at high altitude, you can be way below the IAS limit, but creeping up on the mach limit as the speed of sound decreases.
